If a nonzero torque is applied to an object,that object will experience:
A)a constant angular speed.
B)an angular acceleration.
C)a constant moment of inertia.
D)an increasing moment of inertia.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Newton's second law for rotational motion, the net torque acting on an object is equal to the product of its moment of inertia and angular acceleration. Thus, if a nonzero torque is applied to an object, it will experience an angular acceleration, causing its angular speed to change. The moment of inertia may or may not change depending on the situation.

If a Nonzero Torque Is Applied to an Object,that Object
